## Job description

Celonis is the trusted platform to industrialize Enterprise AI. At our core is the Celonis Context Model — which combines process data, business knowledge, and intelligence into a living digital twin of the enterprise that AI can actually understand, turning AI's operational blind spots into operational clarity. World's leading companies trust Celonis and its global ecosystem of partners to make their AI agents, people, systems, and processes work together, achieving transformational outcomes. We believe there's a massive opportunity to unlock global productivity and sustainability by giving AI the context to understand how every business process really works. Join our mission to make processes work for people, companies, and the planet.

The Team:

The Celonis Context Model provides a real-time digital twin of enterprise operations, serving as the bridge between enterprise systems and AI. It captures how business actually flows across systems, giving organizations and AI agents the context needed to optimize complex workflows in real time.

As an engineer on the Context Model Core team, you will shape the foundation powering the future of Enterprise AI and Process Intelligence.

The Role: We are looking for a Full Stack Engineer to build the core capabilities to power the Celonis Context Model. In this role, you will build the next generation of user-facing tools and robust backend services that define how the world’s largest enterprises understand their data.

You will tackle full-stack engineering challenges end-to-end: from designing scalable microservices in Java (Spring Boot) to building rich, interactive UI components in Angular and TypeScript. You’ll work closely with product and design to turn abstract data modeling into fast, reliable and joyful user experiences.

Your work at Celonis will directly impact companies and people around the globe as they improve their processes to save money, reduce waste, improve automation and generally become more efficient.

The work you’ll do:

- Define, articulate and drive the execution of the technical vision and strategy for the entire product area, securing necessary buy-in from stakeholders
- Remain hands-on, leading the development of complex, critical-path components
- Driving application performance improvement for big data
- Play an active role in product discussions to shape roadmaps, ensuring technical feasibility aligns with business goals
- Set an example for technical excellence through rigorous design reviews, setting high coding standards, and taking action to improve developer experience
- Mentor and grow teammates while helping to define a fun and inclusive engineering culture

The product you’ll work on:

- Build the next generation of process mining by developing core platform capabilities that power the Celonis Context Model
- Enable customers to model business processes as they operate in reality
- Add semantic meaning to business data and make it efficiently queryable
- Partner with AI/ML teams to simplify and accelerate context modeling
- Enable connected, enterprise-wide process insights

The qualifications you’ll typically need:

- Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience
- 8+ years of product development experience with strong track record of technical leadership
- Deep experience in architecting complex, distributed systems with large-scale data performance challenges.
- Proven success in consistently delivering high-quality output and elevating the performance and quality standards of the broader team.
- Ability to take vague product requirements and turn them into concrete, executable technical roadmaps.
- Strong communication and collaboration skills to gather alignment among diverse stakeholders and explain complex technical concepts to non-technical audiences
- Preferred experience:
- Angular TypeScript
- Java Spring Boot

What Celonis can offer you:

- Pioneer Innovation: Work with the global leader in Process Mining and the Process Intelligence Graph to shape the future of AI-driven business operations.
- Ownership from Day 1: Every full-time "Celonaut" is an owner, receiving Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) and merit-based refresh grants.
- Unrivaled Family Support: Benefit from our inclusive parental leave policy—24 weeks of fully paid leave for primary carers and 12 weeks for supporting carers, available from your first day of employment.
- Work-Life Integration: Enjoy Unlimited PTO (in applicable regions) and generous PTO globally, as well as a flexible hybrid work model that balances remote focus with vibrant office collaboration.
- Continuous Growth: Elevate your skills through our 70-20-10 learning framework, mentorship programs, and access to a dedicated learning platform.
- Holistic Well-being: Prioritize your health with subsidized Wellhub memberships, mental health counseling, and dedicated "Wellness Weeks" that prioritize work/life balance.
- Drive Sustainability: Participate in annual Impact Days, where you receive paid time off to volunteer for community and environmental causes with your local office, or virtually.
- Global Inclusion & Belonging: Find community through our Inclusion Think Tank and participate in our annual Inclusion Days, ensuring every voice is heard and valued.
- Value-Driven Impact: Join a mission-led organization where our core values—Live for Customer Value, The Best Team Wins, We Own It, and Earth Is Our Future—drive every decision.
